WACOSA's 50th Anniversary

In 1963...Gasoline was 29 cents per gallon. The average cost of a new car was $3,233.00. The average cost of a new home was $12,650. The Beatles released "I want to hold your hand." Dr. Martin Luther King gave his "I have a dream" speech. The famous Hitchcock movie "The Birds" was released. Six year old Donny Osmond appeared (in his debut) on the Andy Williams Show.

And...
WACOSA was born.

WACOSA is celebrating our 50th Anniversary this year! Over the past 50 years we have connected the employment needs of the business community to those individuals who, due to disabilities, had not realized their full potential. We match qualified individuals or crews to open positions or outsourced projects on site at WACOSA's facilities.


We would like to thank the businesses who are sponsoring our 50th year. If you know any of the businesses below, please say hello to them and thank them for helping make WACOSA work!

Central MN Counseling Center
H&G Trucking
Shift Technologies
